JBL CBT 50LA-1-WH
The JBL CBT 50LA-1-WH line array column speaker with Constant Beamwidth Technology™ is fitted with 8 x 2” full range drivers and is designed for use on 70V / 100V line loudspeaker circuits via its multi-tap transformer with an 8 Ohm bypass for low impedance circuits. Rated at 60W at 70/100V or 100W at 8 Ohms.
This slim, compact column speaker (53 cm [20.8 in] tall by 10 cm [3.9 in] wide) is finished in white (CBT 50LA-1-WH). Also available in black (CBT 50LA-1).
The design represents a breakthrough in pattern control, utilizing analogue delay beam forming and amplitude tapering to accomplish consistent vertical coverage without the narrow vertical beaming and out-of-coverage lobing that are typical of straight form-factor passive column speakers.
The combination of superb sound quality, excellent pattern control, and compact design makes CBT 50LA-1-WH ideal for a wide variety of applications, such as retail stores, concourses, transit spaces, fill applications, conference rooms, architectural spaces, audio for video, lecture halls and more.
The voicing can be set to match the application through the Music/Speech switch, conveniently located on the side of the cabinet. The Music setting provides flat frequency response, while the Speech setting produces a mid-range presence boost to provide clear, intelligible speech even at the longest throw distances.
The drivers feature dual neodymium magnets for light weight. Copper-capped pole pieces lower both the driver inductance and the flux modulation. This increases high frequency extension and reduces distortion at high drive levels. Butyl rubber surrounds provide long life even in high humidity environments. The drivers are shielded.
Dynamic SonicGuard™ minimizes distortion at high drive levels by limiting low frequency excursion dynamically. This maximizes clarity at high drive levels while protecting the drivers from damage due to overpowering.
Please note: To comply with IP55, an optional panel cover (MTC-PC2) must be fitted. Please contact us for details.
